In an affidavit submitted to federal court by NASCAR, Mayfield's stepmother claims that Mayfield has been taking methamphetamine since 1998 and that she has witnessed him doing so. The stepmother said in the affidavit:

"Between 1998-2005, I am personally aware that Jeremy used methamphetamine often. I was concerned about his heavy use and talked to his father about it. I saw Jeremy use methamphetamine by snorting it up his nose at least 30 times during the seven years I was around him. Jeremy used methamphetamine not only in my presence, but also when we were both in the presence of others.

Jeremy used methamphetamine not only in my presence, but also when we were both in the presence of others.

Mayfield’s response to the Associated Press: "Now they got this lying (expletive) to tell lies about me, someone I am embarrassed even uses the Mayfield name. She’s tried everything she can do to get money out of me, I won’t help her, so I guess she found a way to get money from NASCAR by giving them an affidavit full of lies.”

According to ESPN, Mayfield’s father, Terry, died in 2007 of what the Chapel Hill, N.C., medical examiner called a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Police found no criminal activity. Mayfield said his stepmother will be served with a wrongful death suit today.

Lisa told authorities that Jeremy was partly to blame for his father’s death. The sheriff’s report noted that Lisa Mayfield said Terry Mayfield was "very depressed about not talking with his son, Jeremy, that this was only a matter of time."

This story is no longer a case of NASCAR Said/Jeremy Said. It has boiled into a family drama, and an ugly one at that.

In his comments to Newton, Mayfield ensured he will never be allowed on a NASCAR track again, saying, "Brian France talking about effective drug programs is like having Al Capone talking about effective law enforcement."

Is he saying Brian France uses drugs? That is certainly one way to read it.

http://www.allleftturns.com/espn-sources-mayfield-tested-positive-meth/#commentsWed, 10 Jun 2009 03:04:06 +0000ESPN The Magazine reports that driver Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamines during a random drug screening May 1 at Richmond International Raceway. The magazine cited "two independent sources." ESPN's Ryan McGee reports that court papers revealed that the suspended driver had taken a double dosage of over-the-counter allergy medication Claritin-D before the Richmond drug test. Mayfield said he also was taking prescription Adderall-XR to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. A third drug turned up positive, but until now had not been identified.

Mayfield said he also was taking prescription Adderall-XR to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. A third drug turned up positive, but until now had not been identified.

According to the report:

ESPN The Magazine learned Monday evening that the unidentified drug was methamphetamines. Neither NASCAR nor Mayfield is allowed to comment because of the gag order. Mayfield’s attorneys contend that it was a false positive test reading, triggered by either a mixture of the two acknowledged drugs ingested or by poorly executed testing procedures. In their lawsuit filed May 29, Mayfield’s legal team targeted Nashville-based AEGIS Sciences, the corporation contracted by NASCAR to conduct the league’s random drug screenings, which were implemented for the first time this season. AEGIS, which also is under the gag order, is not allowed to comment on specifics of methamphetamine testing as it refers to the Mayfield case, but its Web site does list two methamphetamine-specific urine-based test procedures.
